The Boards
The Boards is an Invite only, Private Message Board, hosted on DISCORD.
Moderation Features – on The Boards
The Wick (as in John) Bot has been installed to Auto Moderate both the Joining Process and your Posts.
As an example: Wick will prevent posting of swear words on all boards, except Open. Refer to the TOU page for more information on this.
Wick works on filters. The more filters you trigger, the quicker Wick will silence you from posting.
Wick will either KICK members off the boards, or BAN members – depending on the infraction.
KICK: Removes a member from the server for a short Time Out period. They can then re join.
BAN: Access to The Boards is denied for a specified longer period.
During the initial stages, the Wick filter will be modified as required to increase or decrease the sensitivity of an response to a mutually acceptable level.
So, beware of John.
Manual moderation will occur as necessary, in a similar process to Wick, but with the addition of the Purgatory Board.
The type of action being taken, is dependant on the infraction.
PURGATORY: For minor infractions, this is a hidden board for members to serve their time out. ‘Evil Grin’.
The Purgatory Board has no ability to create threads or posts. Currently manually operated, unless Wick can be configured for this.
KICK: Removes a member from the server for a short Time Out period.
BAN: Access to The Boards is denied for a specified longer period.
PERMABAN: A permanent solution, as in ‘Never allowed’ back on the Boards.
This Discord feature, will only be activated when a member, or members require a cool down time between posting messages.
It slows down chat, in the entire Board, with a specified cool down time between messages for each member.
When activated, all members on the board will be restricted to sending one message per selected interval.
It is used before moderation features kick in.
The cool down period is customizable, with a time limit from five seconds to six hours.
The slow down will affect all threads on the Board. e.g. Open.
When Slow Mode is enabled, members will receive a notification along with a screen shake when attempting to send out another message.
Unless Discord provides the ability to use slow mode on individual members or threads – I am unsure if this feature will be of much use.
WICK will prevent swear words from being posted – on a Board by Board basis.
For example;
You can swear in the OPEN BOARD.
You cannot swear in the GENERAL BOARD.
WICK will prevent you from submitting your post if it contains a swear word in an inappropriate Board.
It remains to be seen if Wick is smart enough to prevent any abbreviation of swear words. 
A future option would be to have a couple moderators to assist with moderation.
They will be very carefully selected, and only able to;
1. Warn any member(s) overstepping the Terms of Use.
2. And if they continue, or if it is OTT abusive, assign a sort period of time out – to cool down. I am still in the early stages on how to implement this feature.
MEMBER MODERATION
Members are encouraged to ‘Speak Out’ if other members are engaged in heated, or abusive behaviour. Of course this will be on a Board by Board basis.
